861. Deficiencies Affecting Our Mental Health
The Doctor Is In Podcast - A podcast by Dr. A.W. Martin and Dr. A.P. Martin
Dr. Martin continues his teaching on anxiety and depression in today’s episode. He focuses specifically on the two areas of the brain that get affected by stress. Our bodies are built for stress, but no one was built for chronic levels of stress. We have two organs in our body, the adrenal glands, that are built for stress. They control your fight or flight response, but when they don’t shut off, you end up with high levels of cortisol. This is bad. Cortisol over a period of time has a major effect on the body. Join Dr. Martin as he looks at these major effects.
